An OTLA project by Springboard Sunderland Trust on how tutors use formative assessment strategies to support English learners in both the Study and Adult programmes.
This project focused on how tutors used formative assessment strategies to support English learners.
The aim of the project was to help learners to take greater ownership of their own progression and unlock their ability to reflect on what went well and how they could get even better. Alongside this, the project aimed for learners to see the links between their vocational qualifications and maths and English. Tutors implemented a variety of strategies including providing learners with dedicated criteria for marking their own work and found learners responses became more detailed and confidence in contributing in class increased for a number of learners.
